Best Vest in the Northwest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best Vest in the Northwest! Seriously this vest is amazing. I never thought of myself as a 'Vest' person until I fell in love with this NF vest. I love hiking with this vest. it looks super cute , you will look and hike like a pro!
I love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's very warm and comfortable
No better vest on the market.
I bought the original 1996 version (in 1999). Guess what? I STILL HAVE IT. It has been on miles of trail and hours of field work in the cold, wet and dark. It has ZERO holes rips or tears. It has kept nearly all of its down, hasn’t deflated at all. It still looks great. If I hadn’t gained 20 pounds in the last year and a half, I would still be wearing it. If you’re looking at buying one, make sure you plan on living another 30 years because this thing is here for it. And make sure you leave it to someone in your will who will wear it proudly. If ya don’t believe me, I’ll happily send you photos.
Must have!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am now on my second vest, different color. I love it. I use this vest for everything I dress it up dress it down. I love it it's so comfortable and perfect for me on the go with my toddler able to use my arms and still be able to be warm at the same time I just wear a long sleeve underneath and I'm out the door and ready to go and do my everyday errands . it's perfect for my midriff and my back I tend to get more cold there. Love it! I also bought 2 for my mother in laws she loved mine and complimented me on mine on the last 3 years I had to get one for her and my father in law for Christmas . It's a beautiful sporty vest.
28 Years & Still Trending!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this vest! I wanted something warm but not too warm since Winter is coming to an end. And I'll be able to wear this vest throughout Springtime as well since u can determine how warm u want to be depending on what u wear underneath the vest. The hide-a-way hood is also a plus living in Seattle! This vest is also super trendy right now & u can choose to dress it up or down. I always wear a size medium in TNF jackets & this vest is also true to size. I definitely recommend this vest to anyone who loves TNF gear & wants to stay stylishly warm but not get overheated. It's a perfect addition to almost any outfit!
Loved my vest so much that my kid wanted it too!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wear it everywhere. So does my daughter. She liked mine so much that she borrowed it. And I missed it! So I just got her one in order to get mine back! I live in Minneapolis, she's in Chicago. Here's a photo of her rockin the vest in Chicago!
I love it!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm so satisfied with my purchase. I get a lot of compliments and I love the color. I actually found a pair of sneakers with the same yellow. I got the best this time. My next purchase will be the jacket.
Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore this vest on a recent trip to the bay. Mid-day it started sprinkling so I wore the cap that's hidden in the neck line. So versatile! And my favorite North Face thing that I own right now.
Great Gift!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 15yr old daughter loves it, got it for christmas. I purchased an XS and it fits perfectly with room for a sweatshirt underneath.
I would buy again and might in another color!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Went hiking in Grand Tetons/Yellowstone and was the perfect addition to the fall weather!
